Another MTT...

I just finished playing a $5+0.50 knockout tourny on Fulltilt, ended up coming 18th out of 249 and again should of done alot better. I ended up getting $12.47 lol! yeh i know hardly worth it! I played well throughout nursing a short stack nicely and slowly built it up to be sitting comfortably 9th in chips at the later stages. The way i went out...i hated it.....this is the problems with MTT's, you can play so well for hours and hours, you make the money, then few places in get a hand and booom out u go! Maybe i should of just re-raised all-in preflop with my AQ...hmmm i dunno...any comments would be appreciated....thank you.

AQ misplayed??

Ggggrrrrrrr8!

Just a quick post really to just say i think ive just become a sick player lol! Just won a £2+0.25p tourny on Whill, 177 runners got £106.20. Dammm cnt belive this recent run......long may it continue i say...wowsers, i no it was only £2.25 buyin and ive won much more in the past but this one feels different as i deserved to win fully lol!

Apart from that played a bit of cash, but fuk cash lol...tournies give that rush of when you win which lame ole grind of cash just cnt match haha, neway have wrk in the morning GL peoples.

Mtt's

Firstly i played on the cash games tables yest and started on about £2.40 playing 0.05/0.10p NL on Whill's. You may be wondering why im playing so low.....and no im not that broke lol! Basically had that figure sitting in my hills account so decided to see if i could spin it up into some big cash money. I got it up to about £32 happy days!!!
I was also playing on an MTT on fulltilt a measley $2+0.25, i ended up coming 35th out of 298 players, not too bad but could of done a whole lot better, of course the prize money was astronomical $3. Played a PLO $5 tourny on hills as well and came 1st (cha-ching) which payed out top 3 and i ended up with $65 ish, i am really happy with the way i played this one as i was in the top 3, mostly chip leader from the 2nd half of the tourny and maintained it which i normally bleed chips.
Moving on to today and i played a £2+0.25p Headhunter on hills which i just finished a little while ago and ended up coming 3rd out of 248 for £37.42, maybe im just running well, or has the Full ring cash ive been playing also helped me play the MTT's differently, i havent quite figured it out, but ill take it and move up the MTT buyins hopefully properly instead of just plonking and going for the $100+ buyins lol! Heres the hand history below i went out on i no it was bad but how bad was it....any ideas on what i should of done differently???

Full ring

Ive reverted back to full ring play as i cant take the swings on 6 max anymore, i think this is my game, seem too easy lol!, only been trying 1/2, and a bit of 2/4NL and i think it suits my game a whole lot better. I never really gave it much of a go before, but recently have read a number of blogs who play full ring, which i thought hey if they can make a consistent profit month in month out then surely so can i haha. Other than that not really played too much, been too busy trying to get a new job with better salary. Made $280 today, so not bad, will try to keep this up....oh yeh and post a bit more....
